Chapter 32: Shocking Secrets, Strange Goods
Xiao Xiong and Hu Maosheng led the troops to Lion Rock, which was only a little more than a mile from the mountain to the road. At this time, the bullets of the 38 big covers of the devils who were chasing behind them had already hit less than 50 meters behind them. Looking further in the direction of the highway, I saw that there were estimated hundreds of devils on the opposite road, and they had already noticed that someone was heading in the direction of the highway, and most of them quickly ambushed in the ditch on the side of the road, ready for battle, and sent a team of devils to search for Lion Rock. I have seen the smoke and dust rising from cars at both ends of the highway not far away, and the cars of the reinforcing devils are not far from here.
The situation is so critical that Xiao Xiong no longer has any room for consideration. Now it is necessary to rush across the road before the devil's pursuers and reinforcements arrive, and before they have formed an encirclement. Otherwise, the situation is unthinkable.
"Xiaofei, you take someone to break off. The Hunters charged, and the others followed. ”
Xiao Xiong almost shouted and gave the order. After speaking, he shouted, "Death to those who stand in my way!" Kill-" jumped up and took the lead and rushed down the hillside. When everyone saw the commander rushing down, they all shouted the word "kill" and rushed down while firing their guns.
The devils on the highway shot desperately at them, bullets rained down on them, and fighters kept falling. The fighters of the Hunters, after all, are experienced, and they specifically fire at the shooters of several machine guns of the devils, and some of the machine gunners of the devils are almost hit by several bullets at the same time. Taking advantage of the short time when the enemy's machine gun was dumbfounded, Xiao Xiong rushed to the road with his group. I saw them shooting at the devils in the ditch in front of them. The devils died and were wounded, and the devils who were not killed hurriedly fled to both ends of the road. The blockade circle arranged by the devils on the highway was immediately opened a gap, and I saw Xiao Xiong and them rushing across the road like a violent wind, and Wang Xiaofei, who was broken behind, continued to fire at the devils in pursuit, and when the team rushed out hundreds of meters away, they also ran forward desperately.
The devils who were disrupted by the formation then gathered together and pursued in the direction of Xiao Xiong's retreat.
Xiao Xiong and the others ran until they reached the foot of the incense burner pier before they shook off the enemy's pursuit.
In this battle, although the Einsatzgruppen and Hu Maoxian's guerrillas killed more than 100 devils and Han annihilation, and attacked the county seat of the devils, the results were good, but their own team also lost more than 100 people, and it can be said that this battle was won very tragically.
The team didn't dare to stop for a moment, they directly climbed over the incense burner pier, and then crossed the Shuangjian Peak, and finally came to the Xi'an before dark. This is already halfway up the steep Hanyang Peak.
It is a long-abandoned nunnery that has been a long-term stronghold of the Xingzi guerrillas. Because of the mountains, cliffs, and rugged mountain roads, it was a very inhospitable place for the inaccessible people, but for the guerrillas it was a natural place for hiding soldiers.
Running all the way, coupled with constantly climbing mountains and mountains, everyone has reached the limit of physical strength. Especially the wounded, because they were not treated, they were so tired that their faces turned pale one by one, and a few seriously wounded fainted to the ground as soon as they arrived at the station.
Xiao Xiong and Hu Maosheng hurriedly asked the medical staff accompanying the team to bandage the wounds of the wounded, and vacated the only few rooms in the nunnery for the wounded as wards, and arranged the wounded properly. Then, the rest of the team arranged to live in a cave behind the nunnery.
The cave is very spacious, almost one zhang high and more than two zhang wide, and it is very deep inside, and there is a mountain spring flowing out of it. This used to be the place where Hu Maosheng's guerrillas lived, but now that so many people came at once, everyone spread out the thick straw on the ground and took out everything that could be covered, and everyone could barely sleep. Fortunately, this place is a warehouse used by the guerrillas to place the materials of the captured devils, and there are also some captured devils' military coats, quilts, etc., which happened to come in handy today, and they were all taken out for everyone to cover as quilts.
After resting for a while, and after eating, Xiao Xiong gathered the officers of the Einsatzgruppen and the guerrillas, summed up the situation of the battle, and discussed the next plan of action.
After discussion, everyone agreed that they should first rest for a period of time and wait for everyone to recover before making plans. In addition, these dozens of wounded people have to be taken care of, and when most of them are injured before they act, their strength will be stronger.
After everyone agreed on their opinions, Xiao Xiong said that he could not delay time, and as soon as the news of the attack on Xingzi County had passed, he, Li Minghua, and Wang Xiaofei would immediately rush back to Jiujiang and carry out operations there to complete the tasks assigned by the theater headquarters.
Three days later, Xiao Xiong rushed back to Jiujiang. And in these three days, a very important thing happened in Jiujiang.
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, that is, the day when Xiao Xiong and they made trouble in Xingzi County. After lunch, after Luo Pingfan arranged his work, he walked out of the foreman's room and came to the riverside. He watched as the workers carried goods down from the boats parked on the shore while looking up at the scenery on the river.
Standing on the wharf, I saw that the Yangtze River in late autumn had lost its rushing and mighty days, and became docile and gentle, and the river flowed slowly to the west. On the river, white sails are dotted in the distance, and there are many boats on the river. Just downstream of the pier, several boats full of herons (ospreys) are fishing on the side of several boats. Originally, because of the huge river and the turbulent current, the herons could only fish in the lake. And now because the water level of the Yangtze River has dropped sharply and the water flow is gentle, they can come to the Yangtze River to fish.
I saw a few fishermen keep stretching out their pennies to put away the herons in the water, and then took out the caught fish from their mouths, fed them a few small fish to eat as a reward, and threw them back into the water, so that they could continue to catch big fish in the water.
After watching for a while, suddenly, a motorboat of the devils on the shore drove towards those fishing boats. As soon as the fishermen saw the motorboat coming, they hurriedly retrieved the herons that were still fishing in the water. When the devil's motorboat approached, they realized that the transport ship with the devil was about to come downstream and dock, and the devils were going to drive these fishing boats away and ask them to get out of the channel. The heron fishing boat reluctantly left the place.
It turned out that because this is near the wharf, downstream of the wharf, there are a few wooden rafts for barges, and the wooden rafts are covered with wooden planks. They've been here for years. The people who live by the river basically come here every day to do laundry, wash vegetables, etc., and some families even empty the toilet here. As a result, there is a lot of food here, and the fish like to come here to feed, and over time, a small fishing ground has been formed here. It attracts people to come here to fish, and some use fishing nets, fishing stalks, and herons to catch fish here.
Just when Luo Pingfan could see his mind, one of his subordinates ran over and told him that it was Director Peng Fugui who called him and said that there was something important. So Luo Pingfan hurriedly followed the subordinate back to the office.
After taking the phone, he could hear that Peng Fugui on the other end of the phone did have something important to look for him. He said that he had an important fleet coming soon, and asked him to send some reliable workers to carry it, and that he could not go up to unload the cargo until after dark.
Putting down the phone, Luo Pingfan's intuition told himself that this might not be a simple batch of materials, and he had to find a way to figure it out.
So, he selected a dozen workers who he felt were more reliable, and instructed them to pay attention to what kind of goods they were and write them down.
Luo Pingfan walked out of the foreman's room again and walked to the riverside. At this time, the ship that had been parked at the river to unload its cargo had finished unloading its cargo and was untying its cable and slowly leaving the dock. As soon as these boats left, the two iron barges that were originally parked on the periphery of the pier slowly approached the pier under the tow of the devil's motorboat. I saw that the devils on the motorboat were loaded with live ammunition, holding the 38 big cover that had been loaded with bayonets, and watched vigilantly around. On the two iron barges, the cabins were tightly covered with canvas, and the sides, cabins, bows, and sterns were full of devils with guns standing guard.
It seems that this batch of goods is not small, and it has been escorted by so many devils, Luo Pingfan thought to himself. Suddenly, the devil on the boat gestured and yelled at him, and he vaguely understood what the devil meant, which was to let him get out of here quickly.
He hurriedly nodded and agreed, and hurriedly walked to the side, cursing the ancestors of this group of guys in his heart, but unfortunately these devils couldn't hear it.
In the evening, Peng Fugui rushed over from the police station. As soon as he saw Luo Pingfan, he scolded:
"This little devil Yuanshan is really noisy. I have been on the phone since noon, and I have been on the phone all the time, asking me to bring someone to the dock as soon as possible, saying that a batch of important goods has arrived, and that I should bring my brothers over to watch it first, and then he will bring the gendarmerie to pick up the goods. ”
Peng Fugui walked into the foreman's room, and the "jingle bell" suddenly rang on the desk, startling him. "Mom, it's definitely from Wonshan, this life-urging ghost."
He walked over and picked up the phone:
"Hey, I am. What the? Fuck, you make it clear, County Magistrate Wu is dead? It's impossible. ”
Putting down the phone, Peng Fugui wilted all of a sudden.
"Director, County Magistrate Wu, he ......" Luo Pingfan asked in great surprise.
"Dead! The bureau called and said that Wu Yingqi was killed in Xingzi. Peng Fugui sat on the stool in great frustration.
"You said, in Xingzi County, which is heavily guarded by the people, the two county magistrates were beaten to death in the hotel, and there are so many guards, and they also said that the anti-Japanese elements killed more than 100 people and fled like this, you said that so many of them ate dry food."
Luo Pingfan's heart is the brightest, this must be what Xiao Xiong did. It's beautiful! He couldn't help but admire in his heart, and at the same time felt very happy and proud that he had provided information to the Einsatzgruppen.
The lights on the docks were all on, and the canvas on the devil's transport ship was turned on. At one point, the workers stepped onto the iron barge and began to carry the wooden boxes piled on the ship off the ship and put them in the warehouse on the docks.
The devils on the ship kept staring at the workers carrying them, shouting "be careful, be careful", and even Peng Fugui didn't let him get close to this batch of goods.
Luo Pingfan thought nervously in his heart, what is in it? There is no difference in the appearance of the outer box and the normal ammunition box. But why are the devils so aggressive and cautious?
"Gotta figure out what's in there."
"Old Li Tou, what's the matter with you, you walk crookedly, haven't you eaten enough?"
As he spoke, he gave him a look. Lao Li Tou comprehended, and deliberately stumbled when he got off the springboard, and the box on his shoulder was taken off at once, and he saw that the box was about to fall into the river. Luo Pingfan hurriedly rushed up and held the box that was sliding into the river.
He held it up and pretended to be very heavy, and the box slammed into the dock. The box immediately fell apart, revealing its contents.
"Yaga!" The two devils standing on the pier rushed up, and Luo Pingfan and Lao Li were beaten violently.
"Taijun, Taijun, I'm sorry, I'll clean up, I'll clean up."
Luo Pingfan hurriedly picked up the pile of things and walked towards the warehouse.
In fact, the moment the box was smashed open, he had already seen clearly, the box contained a very much like a cannonball, and there were two skulls marked on the body of the bullet, but he didn't know what was inside.
